Or that time they lied about 120,000 defective suspensions that broke causing crashes and fatalities and then blamed their customers and covered it up so they would not have to issue a recall in the US (they were forced to issue a recall for the issue in China)? [2]

A decade of unequivocal lies about delivering autonomous vehicles [3] while knowingly killing tens to hundreds.

But other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

By the same logic, this video would not be faked even if in fact it's the same chess move he tried for 2 months and it's the only one working, and also another patient died.

Not saying it's the case - clearly not. But yeah, let's be real.

But it may be fake in the sense that it's not viable for a long term use and / or necessitates a very controlled environment. That would indeed match the pattern for Musk companies - articulate a grandiose vision, show a working demo to amaze the world, then show progress on some scale but without disclosing the issues that actually would make to product not viable or not financially viable in the long term, and sell the hell out of it to investors.

If you look closely, all his companies work like that. Yes, including Tesla ! Their car business is at the point where they may start loosing money again - competition, slowdown in EV subsides, but also factors that allowed them to reach an apparent profitability - for example, their service is nonexistent, while it used to be great. Basically they sold millions of cars, while their service centers are still scaled for thousands, not millions. This will a big financial liability, but not really visible in their financial for now.

But hey, they already transitioned to another business that promise to make even more money in the future with other promising tech ! AI anybody ?
